Slow tour from Kalkbaai to Kampsbaai. Slept well. Friendly and helpful has taken on a new meaning. Thanks to Liesel and her team for just good service and a great guest house.

Sloertoer van Kalkbaai na Kampsbaai. Lekker geslaap. Vriendelik en behulpsaam het 'n nuwe betekenis gekry. Dankie aan Liesel en haar span vir net goeie diens en 'n puik gastehuis.

Delicious. The staff is professional and friendly. The room was spacious with a beautiful view. Mandy was a gem and the face of the guesthouse. Her helpfulness was a belt under the heart and immediately made us feel welcome. The room has a beautiful view and met all our needs. We will definitely book again when we visit the Cape.

Heerlik. Die personeel is profesioneel en vriendelik. Die kamer was ruim met 'n pragtige uitsig. Mandy was 'n juweel en die gesig van die gastehuis. Haar hulpvaardigheid was 'n riem onder die hart en het ons dadelik laat welkom voel. Die kamer het 'n pragtige uitsig en het aan al ons behoeftes voorsien. Ons sal definitief weer bespreek as ons in die Kaap kom kuier.

Thank you very much for your feedback, Willem. It is good to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that Mandy and our team looked after you well. Regarding security, I just want to mention that Simonstad is fortunately a very safe town, but in the last year we have just installed CCTV cameras and we have a very active neighborhood watch. The house also has burglar bars (clear bars) on all windows. We've never had any security incidents, but we're keeping an eye on it. For now, the big goal is to put up solar panels. Our inverters keep our WiFi going during Loadshedding and our rooms have "rechargeable" lights, but we hope to be self-sustaining in terms of energy by the end of the year.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, Willem. Dit is goed om te hoor dat julle die verblyf geniet het en dat Mandy en ons span goed na julle gekyk het. Oor sekuriteit wil ek net noem dat Simonstad gelukkig 'n baie veilige dorpie is, maar ons het in die laaste jaar nou maar CCTV kameras opgesit en ons het 'n baie aktiewe buurtwag. Die huis het ook diefwering (clear bars) by alle vensters. Ons het nog nooit enige sekuriteitsinsidente gehad nie, maar ons hou ons oog daarop. Vir nou is die groot doelwit om sonpanele op te sit. Ons inverters hou ons WiFi aan die gang gedurende Loadshedding en ons kamers het "rechargeable" ligte, maar ons hoop om teen die einde van die jaar selfonderhoudend in terme van energie te wees.

Quiet place with lovely view. The guest house is located in the older part of Simonstad. So a very neat, peaceful place with a nice view of the harbour. I will definitely go back again.

Rustige plek met lieflike uitsig. Die gastehuis is geleë in die ouer deel van Simonstad. Dus 'n baie netjese, rustige plek met 'n mooi uitsig oor die hawe. Ek sal definitief weer teruggaan.

Terrible, unhygienic, uncaring theft. Our money was stolen out of our bags when the staff cleaned our room. We informed the staff and nothing was done. Our towels weren't replaced with new ones. It was our honeymoon, and a stay we will always remember as a bad experience. The owner didn't even bother to assist us by sorting out the problem. If it was my guest house and guests had an issue, I would have attended immediately to sort out the problem. This is a very bad experience for us on our honeymoon, and we feel violated that the cleaning staff went through our luggage. I won't recommend this guest house to anyone because the owner didn't care at all about us.

Hi Carmen, I am very sorry about your poor experience and that I wasn't in town at the time to speak to you personally. We have been in operation for 15 years and we have never experienced an incident of theft. I did, however, scrutinise our camera footage and interviewed the staff, but found nothing incriminating any staff member. We provide electronic safes in all our rooms for guests to secure their valuables, as we cannot take responsibility for items that go missing, of which we do not have proof of them being there in the first place. Are you sure the money wasn't misplaced at your wedding reception? These things happen and I'm really sorry it happened to you. You seemed very content when I spoke to you on your first morning, prior to leaving for a few days. We run an eco-friendly establishment and change linen and towels every 3 days, unless guests leave their towels in the bath or showers, exactly like it is done in many guest houses and hotels globally. The fact that towels aren't changed daily does not indicate uncleanliness. For others reading this review, I urge you to also consider the other reviews from the majority of our guests who had a delightful stay and a positive experience.

Hallo Carmen, ek is baie jammer oor jou swak ervaring en dat ek nie op daardie stadium in die dorp was om persoonlik met jou te praat nie. Ons is al 15 jaar in bedryf en ons het nog nooit 'n voorval van diefstal ervaar nie. Ek het egter ons kameramateriaal ondersoek en die personeel ondervra, maar niks gevind wat enige personeellid inkrimineer nie. Ons voorsien elektroniese kluise in al ons kamers vir gaste om hul waardevolle besittings te beveilig, aangesien ons nie verantwoordelikheid kan aanvaar vir items wat wegraak nie, waarvan ons nie in die eerste plek bewys het dat hulle daar is nie. Is jy seker die geld is nie misplaas by jou huweliksonthaal nie? Hierdie dinge gebeur en ek is regtig jammer dit het met jou gebeur. Jy het baie tevrede gelyk toe ek met jou gepraat het op jou eerste oggend, voordat jy vir 'n paar dae vertrek het. Ons bestuur 'n eko-vriendelike instansie en ruil linne en handdoeke elke 3 dae om, tensy gaste hul handdoeke in die bad of storte los, presies soos dit in baie gastehuise en hotelle wêreldwyd gedoen word. Die feit dat handdoeke nie daagliks verander word nie, dui nie op onreinheid nie. Vir ander wat hierdie resensie lees, doen ek 'n beroep op u om ook die ander resensies van die meerderheid van ons gaste wat 'n heerlike verblyf en 'n positiewe ervaring gehad het, in ag te neem.

Beautiful and value for money! What a beautiful place with enough privacy and a fantastic view over Simonstad's harbor and the sunrise.

Pragtig en waarde vir geld! Wat 'n pragtige plek met genoeg privaatheid en 'n fantastiese uitsig oor Simonstad se hawe en die sonsopkoms.

Thanks Mitch, that's good to hear. Although our guests share the 8-bedroom house, the 4 floors, large rooms and partitions on the balconies help everyone enjoy their own unit without being disturbed. The communal sitting and dining room is of course for everyone's use, but people are generally considerate and respect each other's privacy.

Dankie Mitch, dis goed om te hoor. Alhoewel ons gaste die 8-slaapkamer huis deel, help die 4 verdiepings, groot kamers en afskortings op die balkonne dat elkeen sy eie eenheid kan geniet sonder om gesteur te word. Die gemeenskaplike sit en eetkamer is natuurlik vir almal se gebruik, maar mense is oor die algemeen bedagsaam en respekteer mekaar se privaatheid.

Excellent service and beautiful view. Mariner Guest House is beautifully situated with excellent views. The breakfast was great and the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Mariner Guesthouse to anyone. Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend.

Uitstekende diens en pragtige uitsig. Mariner Gastehuis is pragtig geleë met uitstekende uitsigte. Die ontbyt was wonderlik en die eienaar en personeel was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ek sal Mariner Gastehuis vir enigiemand aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike naweek.

Thank you very much for such positive feedback. It is always nice to know that our guests enjoyed their stay at Mariner Gastehuis. We bought this plot and for its position above the harbor in Simonstad and built the house with large windows and sliding doors on the balconies to make the most of the view. Come and stay again!

Baie dankie vir sulke positiewe terugvoer. Dit is altyd lekker om te weet dat ons gaste hul verblyf by Mariner Gastehuis geniet het. Ons het hierdie erf gekoop en vir sy posisie bokant die hawe in Simonstad en die huis gebou met groot vensters en skuifdeure op die balkonne om die beste van die uitsig te maak. Kom bly gerus weer!

What a beautiful guest house! Luxury room and friendliest people. Biggest surprise when we came in on the cool evening and saw a fireplace burning. Most beautiful view of the harbor. Had a delicious breakfast on the porch. Will definitely want to come again.

Wat 'n pragtige gastehuis! Luukse kamer en vriendelikste mense. Grootste verrassing toe ons die koelerige aand inkom en sien daar brand 'n kaggel. Mooiste uitsig oor die hawe. Heerlike ontbyt gehad op die stoep. Sal definitief weer wil kom.

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed our facilities and found our service to be friendly. We chose this particular position for the view over the harbor and sea when we built the house 12 years ago. We still appreciate it. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Baie dankie vir die positiewe terugvoering. Ek is so bly dat julle ons geriewe geniet het en ons diens as vriendelik ervaar het. Ons het juis hierdie posisie vir die uitsig oor die hawe en see gekies toe ons 12 jaar gelede die huis gebou het. Ons waardeer dit nogsteeds. Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer by ons te verwelkom.
